If this is the wrong thread to put this please move it or lock it and I'm sorry.
Well today I went over to my local VW dealership with my friend who also just got his license who already has a 6 speed 07 gti
. Over the last week or two I have visited this dealership a few times and been talking to some of the salesmen about the Rabbit (most likely going to get with in the next year) and Gti. Every time I go there they always say next time I come back I should take a test drive. So today I came back.
As me and my friend pull in the guy who I always talk to is standing there and he starts the small talk about when I am going to buy a Rabbit. So before he gets to involved I ask him If I can take the test drive we've been talking about and he surprisingly (I'm 17 and just got my license) says yes! SO he goes in and gets the keys to a Black 2008 Rabbit with an tiptronic auto trans.

I was going to get a stick but I haven't driven one in 6 months and would probably break something lol.
Just as we are about to leave We find out because I am 17 that I can't drive, but the guy I talk to just pulled around the block and let me drive. My when I got in the drivers seat I adjusted the seat which had a lot of different setting (6 I believe) and drove through some local back streets where I played around with the tiptronic shifter. The Rabbit has a decent 170 Hp and 177 lb/ft of torque. Also it had a nice sounding 2.5 liter 5 cylinder engine. The interior is quite roomy for such a small car.I really enjoyed the steering and just everything about it. This was a nice quality car, especially for the price. The only thing is the dash is really bland but that doesn't really bother me. I couldn't really get any more pictures because I didn't want to look suspicious or anything. I just took the one when he went inside to get the keys.
I really had fun and I am going to go back in a week or two with my dad to show him it and try to get his blessing (and some money
) to get one of these cars. I frequent the vw website and I want to get a white or black 2 door that is a 5 speed manual. also I would like an ipod adapter and the 18 inch 5 spoke wheels but that will probably raise the price two much. Hopefully I will drive it again some time in the near future.
